Lu Mingfei was a poor student and had never heard of the story of the dragon-slaying technique in Zhuangzi.
So Gu Ran explained it again.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Zhu who longed to learn a skill that no one else possessed. He heard that a man named Zhili Yi could slay dragons, so he spent all his wealth and three years learning the skill of slaying dragons from Zhili Yi.
When he returned after completing his studies, someone asked him, "Have you ever seen a dragon? There are no dragons in the world. What use is your dragon-slaying skill?"
“This Fragmented Yi… might be a hybrid! I’ll look for information and study it another day when I have the chance,” Guderian said, making a hypothesis after listening to Gu Ran’s explanation.
“That Zhuangzi was one of them,” Masafumi Toyama said. “A great thinker from ancient times must have had unique ideas and extraordinary abilities. It must have been the dragon’s blood that activated his brain.”
"If I said I was Qin Shi Huang, and that I was resurrected just a few days ago, would you believe me?" Lu Mingfei retorted irritably.
To everyone's surprise, Guderian and Masashi Tomiyama said at the same time, "That's possible!"
Gu Ran was both amused and exasperated: "If Qin Shi Huang were to be resurrected, he wouldn't be a hybrid anymore; he'd have to be the Dragon King, right?"
"That's possible!" Guderian's expertise was in studying dragon lineages, and for a moment he actually started to speculate.
“Alright, we need to find someone to fix the room. Let’s leave here first and then discuss these academic issues,” Masafumi Tomiyama said.
Just now, when Lu Mingfei was testing the gun, because it was modified by the equipment department and had great power, it blew a big hole through a window.
With that, the four of them left the room.
Outside the office, all was quiet except for the four of them walking around.
The other three hadn't noticed anything amiss yet. Gu Ran knew that today was a day of freedom, and they had already stepped into the 'battlefield' between the Lionheart Society and the Student Council.
Gu Ran stayed by Lu Mingfei's side so that she could participate in 'Freedom Day' with him.
Once the student council and Lionheart Society elites are knocked unconscious by Frigga's bullets, it will be a good time for Gu Ran to collect blood samples!
He only needs to collect one more Grade A blood sample to unlock the Sharingan!
Just then, a piercing alarm began to sound, and Lu Mingfei shouted, "Is there an air raid by Dragon?"
Gu Ran calmly looked around. When the alarm sounded, people around the building started coming out with M4A1s in their hands. A burst of bullets took down the repairman who was about to fix the window.
"Let's hide over there," Gu Ran said, looking at the narrow path not far away.
The four of them immediately slipped inside, and the sounds of gunfire began to fill their ears, just like in Hong Kong dramas, where terrorists and the Flying Tigers engage in a gunfight. The sounds of gunfire and bullets hitting their targets were mixed together, just like a real battlefield.
Masashi Tomiyama and Guderian complained about the student council president's unbridled behavior.
Guderian declared that he would make that student council president pay.
Only Lu Mingfei looked completely bewildered.
Gu Ran saw that Masashi Tomiyama had taken out a PPK pistol and changed to a row of red magazines.
That must be Frigga's bullet.
Just after the magazine was changed, Guderian was shot and fell to the ground. Masashi Tomiyama also fell while trying to save Guderian.
Both were researchers with little combat experience; they didn't even know how to find cover. In this hail of bullets, they were hit the moment they peeked out.
Seeing the two teachers die before his eyes, Lu Mingfei became even more frightened. He looked at Gu Ran and asked, "What do we do now?"
"Hide," Gu Ran said softly.
He was eager to test his skills against Caesar and Chu Zihang, but then he thought there was no need to rush; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Lu Mingfei's mind went blank, and he trembled as he hid in the narrow passage.
Gu Ran, however, was quite interested. He piled Guderian and Masafumi Tomiyama's bodies in front of him as cover, then lay down on the ground and watched the battle between the Lionheart Society, dressed in black, and the student council, dressed in crimson.
After Lu Mingfei's legs went numb from squatting, he followed Gu Ran's example and lay down.
He used his StarCraft theory to analyze the tactical intentions of both teams.
However, after analyzing the situation for a while, the captains of both teams suddenly stopped charging and started challenging each other to one-on-one duels.
"Have guns and still engage in hand-to-hand combat?" Lu Mingfei scoffed. "Have you been watching too many ridiculous dramas?"
"It's just like playing Dota. Once the minion waves are over and you have two heroes left, it's just a matter of going head-to-head, right?" Gu Ran said.
“That makes sense.” Lu Mingfei thought about it and agreed. “The blond guy was quite handsome, and as for the black-haired guy… he looks familiar!”
"Chu Zihang, our senior, have you forgotten?" Gu Ran reminded him.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Lu Mingfei immediately remembered.
At this moment, Caesar and Chu Zihang began their battle. Both of them were extremely fast, and when Caesar attacked, his figure became blurry.
Chu Zihang's Murasame Demon Blade and Caesar's Dick Tudor Hunting Knife collided violently, moving so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
But Gu Ran's attention still kept up with their speed, and he saw the pattern of their moves.
Chu Zihang's swordsmanship is indeed quite good. His moves look simple, but in fact, every move hits the vital points, and his movements are crisp and clean.
Caesar's reaction was quick; he not only parried the attack but also seized the opportunity to counterattack.
This should be related to his Word of Power, Kamaitachi. Even if he doesn't actively use Word of Power, his hearing is stronger than that of ordinary people.
The two fought for a while, when Nono, wearing a dark red combat suit, appeared from behind.
When Lu Mingfei saw his senior sister whom he had been thinking about day and night, he was overjoyed and actually stood up. However, at Nuonuo's command, he immediately obeyed and lay down again.
At that moment, Susie, the sniper who had been hiding on high ground, fired a shot, knocking down Nono who was momentarily distracted.
Then Susie came to Nono's side and shouted the Lionheart Society's victory.
Gu Ran, who was hiding to the side, clearly felt that Lu Mingfei's entire demeanor changed the moment Nuonuo fell to the ground.
Within him, a dormant power seemed to be awakening, and his eyes held an ancient and majestic air.
Gu Ran had seen that look in his eyes before.
It was during the first time he took Lu Mingfei's blood.
At that time, a power also emerged within him, helping him to counteract Lu Mingfei's oppressive aura.
However, this time, Lu Mingfei's intimidating aura was not directed at Gu Ran.
At that moment, Lu Mingfei swiftly picked up Masashi Tomiyama's PPK and fired a shot at Susie.
After Susie fell to the ground, he quickly picked up her Barrett sniper rifle.
Chapter 93 The spoils of a day of freedom!
At this moment, Lu Mingfei seemed to have suddenly awakened a firearms expertise. He had never touched a firearm before, but he knew the Barrett sniper rifle in his hand like the back of his hand.
Using muscle memory, he sniped Caesar, who was still trying to show off, with a single shot.
Then, Lu Mingfei uttered the words "traitor" and shot down Chu Zihang, who had already surrendered.
Gu Ran watched from the side. At this moment, Lu Mingfei was like an emperor—majestic, cold, and ruthless.
He stood up and looked at Lu Mingfei.
Is this the kind of temperament that comes with wielding power and influence?
Lu Mingfei stood in the sunlight, his figure hazy in the lingering smoke.
He ignored Gu Ran beside him, his eyes filled with a desolate and lonely look.
Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Ran used the Body Flicker Technique, activating his body with chakra to move at high speed.
His movement speed was like a blur, disappearing and reappearing in an instant.
Gu Ran had already prepared paper shurikens and quickly collected blood samples from Susie, Nono, Chu Zihang, and Caesar.
These four A-grade items are enough!
At this moment, Lu Mingfei put down his Barrett sniper rifle and sat down on the steps alone.
At this moment, Gu Ran held Chu Zihang's Murasame and Caesar's Dick Tudor in his hands, looking at Lu Mingfei not far away.
Gu Ran thought to herself, "That brat must be so sad right now."
The senior sister that Lu Mingfei liked died in front of him because she was distracted on the battlefield because of him.
He believed it was all true.
Gu Ran walked quietly to his side without saying a word.
Suddenly, the campus radio, which had been silent for a long time, began to broadcast.
Lu Mingfei, who was immersed in frustration, suddenly snapped out of it: "What happened?"
Gu Ran handed the two weapons to Lu Mingfei: "Take them."
"what?"
"Take it quickly!" Gu Ran urged.
"Oh!" Lu Mingfei took the two weapons, still feeling a bit dazed.
Gu Ran sat next to him on the steps.
Professor Manstein, from the Disciplinary Committee, began to bring in the medical team to help and awaken the students.
When he saw Gu Ran and Lu Mingfei dressed in freshman attire, he sighed and said that freshmen these days are really getting worse and worse.
After being given an injection, Guderian regained consciousness and explained everything to Lu Mingfei.
But then, this thick-skinned old man anesthetized himself again by stabbing himself with Frigga's bullet.
By this time, the students of the Lionheart Society and the Student Council had all woken up.
Seeing their leader lying on the ground, they immediately looked around for the killer.
"Who did this? Come out here!"
Lu Mingfei sat on the steps, holding two knives in his hands, looking innocently at the students who were shouting and yelling.
The students around him, seeing the two knives in Lu Mingfei's hands and Gu Ran sitting unharmed on the steps, immediately understood what was going on.
"These two must have launched a sneak attack!"
"rat!"
Both the Lionheart Society and the student council members glared angrily at Lu Mingfei and Gu Ran.
Lu Mingfei knew this was just a drill, and he relaxed.
